We went camping again over the long weekend. This time dear son went with us, although he didn't participate much. I got him away from his computer, and he did a lot of reading for his "recreational reading" class, both still good things. With all three of us we made a few adjustments. There's no way I can have the twins both in the bunk bed. The top bunk is always getting poked and bumped and such (classic bunk bed stuff!). I took the bottom bunk and actually slept better than I have in a long time on my own cot. It turns out my cot has a saggy bit just at hip level, because it folds up, and that saggy bit seems to have been irritating my chronic sore hip. The non-folding cot is solid across there, and I sleep and wake up much more comfortably. Well, I sleep well. But I like to get up at dawn, more or less, and since I am now on the least-accessable bunk, the person in the solo cot has to get up, too. Eh, they'll get used to it.
We did figure out how to move around in the cabin. My old camp cot folds up, so we leave the sleeping bag on it and fold it up against the wall. A camp chair becomes the "changing room" (you have to sit to get dressed) and also holds the cot in place. It also makes a good reading chair, if someone isn't interested in the camp activities.
Now, I just have to add that before we left town on Friday, dear daughter helped me skin and slice a few tomatoes to put in the dehydrator, so they wouldn't go bad before we got home again.
These are the ones we picked this afternoon when we got home.
Oh, and both cats were thrilled to see us, but Maui held still to have his picture taken.
